Stephen Houghton Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It seems to me that the dance floors have come a long way what does anybody think. The one that I remember that was a total bliss, was the memorial hall in Wrexham, that was a soullies dream. The dodgy one was at Blackpool ballroom with loose bits of wood, and my wife went head over heels and broke her wrist

Kevin Jones Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 The dance floor at The Wrexham Memorial Hall is still as good as ever. Then Broughton Wings a close second. Kev 1

Winsford Soul Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I'm biased but Winsford civic centre took some beating, Nantwich civic, Lowton civic, there's a theme developing here. Steve 2

Andybellwood Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Seem to recall previous thread(s) on this ..... North Yorkshire Soul Club's venue , the Riley Smith Hall, got a mention on one for its large sprung dance floor . Edited April 16, 2020 by Andybellwood 1
Guest Polyvelts Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Norte dame hall in London had a beautiful floor
Zoomsoulblue Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 KGB Sheffield - it was a full time dance (take ur kids there) centre although those full walled mirrors did ur head in - as that person was always staring back at you - 1 1

Guest Ronnie Mccarthy Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Kierby Hotel in Burnley was a great little sprung floor, apart from one corner that was more like a trampoline.
Speedlimit Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Notts palias up till they changed it in the early 90s, sherwood rooms Notts, both had massive full sprung floors. 1

alanmandy Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Okey club Keighley, Riley Smith Hall Tadcaster, Monaco Wigan and Grosvenor Rooms Sutton in Ashfield all great dancing floors and venues. 1
Frankie Crocker Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Mister M’s was better than the main room at Wigan. Manchester Ritz was good fun - you let the floor move you so dancing was effortless. Any wooden floor for me, especially with talc in a spot or two. Hated Marley tiles and painted concrete floors. 1
Popular Post Chas Posted April 16, 2020 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2020 Ritz Manchester in the 70's when the dance floor was raised up, and the 'heart of England soul club' logo was suspended over the middle. You could be stood at the bar and still feel the bounce. The halcyon days when having a 1000 + attendance was the norm. 3 1

Steve Expand Civic centres had the best dance floors. Heywood being one of them. Love the Longfield Suite at Prestwich. Think that is a civic one too? 1
Rick Scott Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 The Callis Waudby Ballroom in Hull back in the day was a lovely Dance floor. DJ'd there many times and did my thing on the Dance floor (wish i was as agile now) Just Fragile these Days, Was one of those Soul Nites you could get away playing just about anything and was always appreciated
Phil Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Notts Palais was good upstairs and the revolving dancefloor downstairs The Bali Hi back in the day 2
Monny1916 Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 The California ballroom,, Dunstable, so many great dance floors on all different levels ,, but I still loved the Devils Den
